That's just plain bullshit man, I pulled a bud from one of my plants only 2 days ago, after feeding the day before with "chemical" nutes, quick dried it on a radiator and it smoked perfect, tasted like crap cos I didn't dry it slowly, but perfect white ash, no throat burn, no "snap, crackle, pop".

Do I perform miracles or something? No, I just treat my plants like any other plant and use some common sense. A plant is a plant, and noone on the planet flushes any other plant cos it's senseless.

flushing helps the plant use up any un-used nutrients. preference is all yours my friend! If you put your jeans on two legs at a time, or jump off the bed in them I wont judge you. so... dont argue with me but.. it actually helps. I mean you dont need a heavy rain. all you need is to replace all water and feedings with reverse osmo. use it the last week and a half. then you dont water the last 2-4 days... it helps "AID" in drying and chlrophyll I think that 1 guy was right words get misconstrued so I put AID in quotations!

Why do all these rookie posts always start with, 'flushing helps the plant use up unused nutrients'? Would one of you internet Masters please tell us the secret place a plant is hiding them....
Harvesting a plant that is already pretty dry in the pot(then you dont water the last 2-4 days)is the 'IMPROPER' way to beginn an air dry/cure. The moisture is needed in the plant to carry out the fermentation process. The longer you can maintain an amount of moisture in the plant tissue the more complete the curing process. Thats why you should harvest the entire plant, leaves and all to hang. The leaves not only supply additional moisture but they also wither around the buds helping to retain moisture for a longer period. A more difficult method yes. But the end product will be far superior to fast dryed/cured bud........

Well I can tell who here has actually grown, and smoke there own plants... LOL and who thinks they know whats up, I guess i am deeper into this than others. Medical Commuity always uses just water fotr there plants the last couple weeks.

Now you're just talking out of you ass. Those of us that are growing for our own personal smoke will properly CURE the bud (for the thousandth time it feels like) and therefore are not willing to starve plants near the end. The reason for this isn't just the benefit of a few grams, and that notion is obnoxious, during the final weeks not only are the plants putting on weight, but they are focusin on trichome production. As you're starving your plants during your "flushing" period you're slowing them at the time when they are finally producing the THC we want after months and months of feeding them while they grew useless leaves.

I can tell tell that you KushDog who claims such great and storied wisdom don't have much growing experience. You aren't basing your preachings on experience with unflushed buds based in reality. I know from my experience that you're full of shit.

Don't be a clown. You can't fool people that have been around awhile. Anyone who looks through your post history can see your noob posts. Don't try to act like an internet tough guy, it makes you look stupiid. Don't pretend to be an expert on curing, flushing or harvesting when a few weeks ago you were asking when the time to harvest even is. It's absolutely asinine that you would claim to be an expert after coming around here for 6 months and asking for help as a newb then. Do you think we don't pay attention to who's who and what's what?

OK, I'm going to do a little experiment. My son bought some good pot a couple of days ago; it's still green, soft and supple; it has not even been dried, much less cured. Last night I put about an eight in a container of water for it to water cure. I'm going to change out the water every day, dry it at the end and do a smoke report. I know what it tastes like now and it's pretty harsh, actually very harsh.

I did have a thought to cross my mind last night as I was looking at the weed sitting in/on the water. What if I added a drop of liquid soap as a surfactant to help it "get wet"? It may not even be an issue because it's about 14 hours later now and they are completely saturated but still floating. I think in 6 water changes all the soap would rinse out. Any thoughts on that? Here's a pic of the bud.

wow are you srious soap? no waaaay! and besides you need a bowl or plate. im sorry also to report that plastic bowl also may not be a good suggestion....

how aboutnutrients and salts, and chemicals in the soil.it just helps the taste. im sorry i dont know the technical words.. but you dont have to understand what your doing if it works for you.if my post intimidates you i apologize but, if you think about it its still growing when its cut down. its a much slower event but the dryer the soil and leaves withering that arent as important like fan leaves does aid in drying. but if your drying the whole plant and not chopping it into little pieces regardless it will presume 4-5 days drying. i think longer if in smaller branches. unless you grow tiny 1-2ft plants. i cant explain why the earth exists.. it just does. even me or you for that matter.

Some people reek of experience. some are just green and impatient. ive been them all. i once put seeds in a river bank during a rain thinking they would grow. when a 4ft. plant washed up and growing on the opposite end of the bank, experience develops. especially if you want to master your craft. its kind of like pimping haahaa.my second go around was a 6ft using 10-10-10-&20-20-20. then a inside grow with hyponex and only a few nutes. but you never heear of the flub-ups people have.oh well... now my hands are clean since i talked my friend into growing. he gets so antsy but i sit him down and explain and things go pretty well!!

i think the best teacher unless youve heard it already is trial error experience mistakes improvements no matter how far you veer off from the facts you'll always reference the facts ! trust me! i learned almost noyhing but that and i read up on pot growing for ten years before attempting it!

Well I have water cured a few plants and I was not pleased with the result. It made good buds look average, and it decreased the weight. And overall I cannot say for sure if it increased the potency. Overall I would say try it on a small sample and see how it works. If it is for personal consumption then you may like it, but I personally don't. I like the taste, smell, and look of the air dried buds to ever do it again to premium buds.

HOWEVER, I am thinking this could be a really fantastic idea for edibles. I have always hated the taste of the chlorophyll in edibles and if you properly water cured the buds or trim first I am betting the budder taste a heck of a lot better. But then again, you could also just make hash and add it to the budder accomplishing basically the same thing.

Oh and by the way, my name is Silence and I am new here, but I have been reading RIU for years. Just never actually posted.
